First off sound.  I really wonder is putting a real DAC is more expensive
than a resistor network.  Especially if performance is taken into acct.

IDE drive support would be great.  I have yet to make the switch to SCSI.
Having both would be a great advantage.  If possible support IDE.

ISA is a must.  Allows the stringing of more serial ports and such.
Without expandability the system is fixed and could quickly become
obsolete.
